Holy Scourge: Hello again people. Those who originally read this story might be happy to learn I plan to revise it, or be very pissed. It will still be a Seto/Jou pairing but I hope to bring up the content a bit more in the lacking chapters and edit previous spelling and grammar errors hopefully. Please be patient with me as I am working on a number of things now that I have the time again.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Yugioh. I'm just the poor girl who writes about them for my own and hopefully your enjoyment.
Notes: ".." said '..' though
Chapter 1 - Help Me
The nervous brunette looked at the lovely violet-eyed youth that stood before him. He knew his confession would be now even if he wasn't ready. The brunette doubted his heart could beat anymore rapidly than it already was.
'Those eyes.' thought the brunette seeming to loose his composure slightly only slightly.
"Yugi?"
"Yes Kaiba?" 'Why did he want to speak to me so badly? Especially at this hour..' Wondered Yugi looking at the tall brunette curiously. Yugi looked at his blue eyes to see for once they held no malice but seemed to have softened and seemed more humane and caring than the youth had seen them before. There was the slightest bit of fright and weakness in them as well 'Something must be going on for Kaiba to look like that.' thought Yugi slightly worried now.
"Yugi there's something I must tell you."
Yugi nodded . "Yes what is it Kaiba? Is something wrong?"
Kaiba shook his head "No Yugi nothing's wrong.." "Good."
"It's that..I.it's..I..I..I love you.." The brunette blurted rapidly leaving Yugi to gasp eyes widening as he understood the words he had heard from.Kaiba!
Yugi looked at Kaiba still in a state of shock.
Kaiba felt his stomach drop along with his heart. This was it..he had waited to do this and the time was now. What would Yugi say? For Kaiba a second was a year. His heart lowered with each moment of silence.
"Kaiba,I'm sorry but I don't fell the same way you do. I'm sure there's someone else. Someone who returns your feelings." Yugi said trying to find something positive to say.
Kaiba swallowed hard. If you would think about this for a moment most likely his pride went as well. Kaiba managed a weak nod.
Yugi nodded as well slightly saddened and guilty. Kaiba sighed deeply then without warning took of in a full out run. Yugi blinked and sighed feeling worse than before now.
'I'm sorry Kaiba..'
Kaiba kept running ignoring almost everything around him. People watched as he ran past wondering what he was doing. Suddenly Kaiba felt his shoulder hit someone but kept going after regaining his balance. He didn't notice they followed him keeping up with his pace with only a little difficulty.
'What did you expect Kaiba for him to love you? Of course not..he never would!'
He felt a hand grab his shoulder spin him around with his speed the person didn't really need to try all that hard. Kaiba blinked wondering who it was. He turned to see a pair of golden brown eyes staring back at him angrily. He heard the low growl from the blonde and arched a brow
"What's wrong puppy dog?" He asked in a menacing tone.
Joey growled "I'm no dog Kaiba!"
Kaiba grinned slightly "Really?"
Joey had had enough.
"That's it!" yelled the blonde shortly.
Joey suddenly knocked Kaiba back with more force than he expected. They began to fight tumbling trying to get the best of one another. They ended up in the basically empty street.. Kaiba was under Joey at one point and growled kicking the blonde off of him. Kaiba sat up in time to hear Joey scream his name in horror. Kaiba wasn't ready for it but he knew it was coming. That why he had kicked Joey off of him.
Joey on the sidewalk safely watched as Kaiba took the impact of the one coming car leaving Joey to watch the grotesque scene. Blood on Kaiba, the street, the car, it was everywhere. Joey glossy-eyed ran to Kaiba's fallen form soaked in the warm crimson liquid. Joey lifted him carefully Kaiba groaning softly opening his eyes part way.
"..J-Joey?"
Joey looked at him feeling a tear make it's way down his cheek.
"Kaiba..you're really hurt..why did you do that?"
Kaiba went to answer but he blacked instead welcoming the black silence without questions or fear. Without weakness. Without hate..or love. It was just nothing. The nothingness a perfect place for him. Void of feeling. Void of pain and rejection. Even Kaiba lying there bleeding, he began to weep silently the tears mixing with the blood. Joey pleaded with Kaiba to live and silently with God or who ever would listen to help him. Kaiba got a sensation he was falling. But where was he falling. Falling into nothing. Kaiba felt himself being lifted.
"What's going on? Where am I going? Who..who's there?" He asked within his own mind still unconscious.
Joey was left to wait as Kaiba was brought to the ER.
"Why? Why did you do that Kaiba?"
Joey knew no one would answer and no one could but Kaiba after all. Joey sighed running a hand through his hair as the hours of wait ahead began.
They worked on Kaiba for hours finally bringing him to a room hooking him up to various machines to help him breath and live.
A doctor approached Joey
"Mister Wheeler correct?"
Joey nodded weakly stifling a yawn. "Is Kaiba alright?"
The doctor sighed "I'm Doctor Westfield. I'm afraid your friend is in a good deal of trouble. He's in bad shape Mr. Wheeler."
Joey nodded "I see..may I see him?"
"Yes you may.."
Joey nodded and went to the room she told him to hoping Kaiba would be alright. Kaiba lay in the bed tubes leading into his arms with IV fluid and one with blood. Joey sat on a chair beside the bed thinking.
"This is my fault..I never should have started the fight.."
Kaiba's chest rose and fell steadily thanks to the machines. The brunette had a series of bruises visible even though not much of him was visible. He looked to be in a peaceful yet frightening soundly sleeping state. Joey felt a lump in his throat. He felt so guilty for what had happened.
"Kaiba.." Joey said quietly looking at the brunette his voice cracking with emotion. Joey blinked feeling a tear fall down his face landing on the wounded brunette's hand. Joey closed his eyes tightly more tears coming.
"He may have been cold and harsh but he didn't deserve this..he saved me. Why? Why Kaiba?"
Joey wished Kaiba were awake to answer but he wasn't so he wouldn't get an answer till then.
Kaiba didn't deserve any of this. He wasn't that bad of a guy though he'd hate to admit it. Sure Joey never got along with him but this was too much even for Kaiba. He shouldn't have to suffer like this.
'Why do I feel so bad for Kaiba..I mean..I really do beyond just the fact he saved me..what's going on with me? Kaiba wake up soon please..' The blonde pleaded mentally to the weak broken body of his adversary Seto Kaiba.
I am evil aren't I? That's the start. I'll defiantly write more when I get the time tell me people what you think. Tell me weather or not you'll read it if I keep up. Well that's to make you review to get a response.
